CAFP Celebrates 70 Years

2018 marks 70 years of the Colorado Academy of Family Physicians. The CAFP began in 1948 as the Colorado Academy of General Practice, just one year after the formation of the American Academy of General Practice. The past 70 years have brought challenge, opportunity, and change to family medicine in Colorado and beyond.

To commemorate all of this work our fall magazine is dedicated to the history of the CAFP and the members who have made it possible. The publication is full of fun photos, retrospectives, congratulatory letters and more. We hope you enjoy this look back as we prepare for the next 70 years!

CAFP board member Kyle Leggott, MD, wrote a blogpost for the AAFP about the actual causes of hospital admissions. It isn't what you expect: the high cost of care is a critical problem for patients that can have severe effects down the road. ow.ly/QSOC50zXStD

Last night the American Academy of Family Physicians unequivocally condemned overt and structural racism, acknowledged racism as a public health crisis, and reiterated the role of family physicians in healing communities. We endorse this statement fully. ow.ly/Vkic50zVM8X
